City ordered to disclose list
The city cannot keep secret a list of 662 Chicago Police officers with more than 10 official complaints lodged against each of them between 2001 and 2006, a federal judge has ruled.
The list could figure into the ongoing debate over whether the city should change the way complaints of police misconduct are investigated and how officers are disciplined.
The list would allow the public to see which police units have the largest number of officers with multiple complaints against them and if the officers were referred into "early-warning" programs.
Last week, Judge Joan Lefkow ordered the city to release the list. The information was gathered by attorneys for a woman who sued the city, claiming she was abused by officers.
The city has filed an emergency motion trying to keep the list secret until the city has the chance to appeal. The city argued the documents should not be released because they did not become part of the court proceedings and would invade the officers' privacy.
But Lefkow said the documents were presumed to be public, writing "the public has a significant interest in monitoring the conduct of its police officers and a right to know how allegations of misconduct are being investigated and handled."
